If We Are Attacked With Pepper Spray

"I pray that none of
us ever have to experience getting Pepper Sprayed. But as the days get
darker and darker, who knows what will happen at any given time."

By

Bro. Michael Muhammad

"Let us lie in wait for the righteous man, because he is
inconvenient to us and opposes our actions; he reproaches us
for sins against the law, and accuses us of sins against our
training. He professes to have knowledge of God, and calls
himself a child of the Lord."

"He became to us a reproof
of our thoughts; the very sight of him is a burden to us,
because his manner of life is unlike that of others, and his
ways are strange. We are considered by him as something base,
and he avoids our ways as unclean; he calls the last end of the
righteous happy, and boasts that God is his father.

Let
us see if his words are true, and let us test what will happen
at the end of his life; for if the righteous man is God's
child, he will help him, and will deliver him from the hand of
his adversaries. Let us test him with insult and torture, so
that we may find out how gentle he is, and make trial of his
forbearance. Let us condemn him to a shameful death, for,
according to what he says, he will be protected."Wisdom of Solomon 2:12-24

A
while back while I was at work (I work at a restaurant)and I felt
something in my eye. Out of habit, Without even thinking about it, I
wiped my eye with my finger.

The same finger, had just been covered in residue from hot peppers.

The
searing pain was immediate. The pain was sharp, intense,
overwhelming all of my other senses. There was literally nothing I
could do but fall to my knees. I was temporarily blinded in that eye and
out of fear that whatever was happening to the one eye would happen to
the other, I kept that one closed too. And even though I only got it in
my eye, it was even hard to breath for a moment. It was a terrible
experience that I will never forget.

And that was only
from a small trace amount of residue from hot peppers. The chemical in
peppers that give it the heat, or burning sensation is called Capsaicin.

Capsaicin is also the Main ingredient(in large amounts) used in "Pepper Spray."
A weapon the enemy deems "Non Lethal." (The Los Angeles Times reported
in 1995 that 65 deaths were associated with the use of pepper spray
since 1990. Yes, that is 65 people killed with a "Non Lethal" weapon in
5 years.)

Did you know Internationally pepper spray is banned for use in war by the 1972 Biological Weapons convention but not for internal security use.

In
the past year we have witnessed all around the world and even in
America the Military/police using pepper spray/tear gas on it's
citizens. And we have witnessed these demons use it indiscriminately
against Men and women, boys and girls, old and young.

Now can you imagine what it must feel like to have "Pepper spray" covering your entire face?

What Are The Effects of Pepper Spray?

If you are attacked with Pepper Spray it's going to burn. It's going to feel like your face is on fire.
If you take deep breaths inhaling immediately after you are sprayed You
are going to experience uncontrollable bouts of choking because you are
inhaling the chemical into your lungs. Capsicum creates heat and minor
nerve irritation, actually reducing other signals sent from nerves to
the brain.

"Searing Pain"

Pepper
Spray forces you to close your eyes, you will find it very hard to
breath, choking, and it's going to cause a severe burning sensation on
your skin. The initial burning sensation can last from 30 minutes to an
hour. With lingering burning effects lasting hours, even days. You
may experience "Intense" head aches.

Why am I telling you this?

Because
you or someone you love may be attacked with Pepper Spray in the future
and If you know what to expect AND How to treat the symptoms, with the
Help of God you may be able to help ease suffering tomorrow by what you
are reading now. The protests are only going to get worse.

When Treating a victim of Pepper Spray. If you can remember this, it will go a long way in saving time, pain, and energy.

Water Does Not Work.
Water Does Not Work.
Water Does Not Work.

Capsaicin
is not soluble in water. What does that mean? No Amount of Water will
Wash it off. You will only be wasting your time. And water. And it
will actually feel like it's burning more.

This can be
proven in no limit of time. Can you remember the last time you had a
really hot pepper or spicy food? And when your mouth was really hot,
you drank some water to cool your mouth. Did it work? If you can't
remember, go bite into a hot pepper, and then try to wash that burning
sensation away with water. Remember hot peppers = Capsaicin. Water will
not stop the burning sensation.

I remember back to that
day in the restaurant when it felt like my eye was on fire. My
co-workers helped me over to the sink where they immediately tried to
flush my eyes with cool water. My eye still felt like it was on fire.
The water, as cool as it was, did not stop the burning sensation. The
pain was so bad I just knew I would lose that eye. I called on the God.

And
He answered. Another one of my Co Workers came to my aid. She yelled
at everyone to get out of the way. She held my head back and told me
to be still and try to open my eye. I did as I was told And she poured
this cool liquid into my eye that felt amazing.

It
stopped the burning sensation immediately. Once she stopped pouring the
liquid the burning started to come back, I yelled at her to keep
pouring whatever it was. She did. It really killed that pain fast. I
was totally amazed and I turned to see what it was that she used to stop
the burning. She stood there holding a half gallon of MILK.

Yes, plain store bought MILK.

Now
as we have just learned, Capsaicin is the active ingredient in peppers
that make it hot or spicy. And Capsaicin is the main ingredient of
Pepper spray. And MILK is one of the ways I Know
flushes the Capsaicin easing that burning sensation. There's a protein
found in milk called casein that acts like a detergent against
capsaicin. It'll actually pull the capsaicin compounds away from the
nerve receptor.

But to test it out for yourself. The
next time you eat hot peppers or something really spicy, instead of
drinking water to cool down your mouth. Put some milk in your mouth and
see how it feels.

The colder the milk is, the more effective it tends to be against the burning sensation.

If
you have gotten the oil on your hands, soaking your hands in bowl of
milk with ice cubes in it will help relieve the pain. Make sure to keep
the milk cold, and replace the milk with fresh milk if the
pain-relieving effects lessen

Because while
Capsaicin is not Water Soluble, it IS Fat Soluble. Fats and "OILS." So
Whole Milk will rinse the Capsaicin easing the suffering. And Water
will be of no use.

Yes I know, some of us would never even
dare put store bought milk into our bodies not to even think about
pouring it in our eyes and on our skin. As long as you are never
attacked with Pepper Spray that's fine.

But if you are, then we may need to come up with some other options.

Blinking Helps
encourage tears flushing the inflammatory agent out of your eyes. Of
course that's the last thing you are going to want to do is open your
eyes once you get Pepper Spray in them. But you will have to force
yourself or the victim to "Keep Blinking."

Many
of your EMT and Fire Depts use Baby Shampoo to wash the inflammatory
agent in Pepper Spray (Capsaicin) away as well easing the burning
sensation. The Johnson and Johnson No Tears Baby Shampoo.
You can pour it right into your eyes and all over to rinse the
Capsaicin away. The Police use this as well for themselves. Because
even though it is usually them using the Pepper Spray, there is
sometimes blow back. So if you are attending a large rally or protest
it would be wise to carry with you a Large bottle of "No Tears" baby
shampoo Just in Case the police get crazy.

If you can get in front of a fan or a breeze that will help. Very cold air will ease the burning sensation. If you get the Pepper Spray on your hands, don't touch any other parts of your body.

Do
not rub the Pepper Spray on your skin. Yes your skin will feel like it
is on fire and it will be a natural reaction to try and "Wipe" the
chemical off. Pepper Spray is an inflammatory agent. It was made to
inflame your capillaries causing the burning sensation. When you touch
the affected area, you make it worse by "rubbing it in" helping to
spread it more.

REMEMBER: Touching your skin After being
Pepper Sprayed is BAD. Touching = More Pain. It may take days for you
to be able to touch your skin and it not hurt.

If you are
wearing contact lenses when pepper sprayed, get them out as soon as you
can. Because the effects of Pepper Spray are so immediate, the moment
you are sprayed, you are going to shut your eyes. That is automatic.
This is when most people usually panic and start trying to "Wipe" their
burning eyes, face, nose, etc. Which in turn, makes it much worse. But
because you are reading this, if that day should ever come for you, you
won't do the things that will make it worse.
As hard as it will be for you if you get pepper sprayed, we must
remember not to panic. And remember what to do to ease the suffering.

It is nearly impossible to get pepper spray out of contact lenses.

Decontaminating
your self from pepper spray can take as little as 15 minutes to as
much as 45 minutes before symptoms subside. It all depends on your skin
type. But in the end, AIR and TIME are your greatest weapons against
the pain associated with Pepper Spray.

I pray that none of
us ever have to experience getting Pepper Sprayed. But as the days get
darker and darker, who knows what will happen at any given time. It is
always best to be prepared for the very worst just in case it happens.
If you will, please forward this to all of your friends and family, co
workers, etc. Because while we may be in our comfort zone today,
tomorrow we may find ourselves completely surrounded by victims of
Pepper Spray and we may be in a position to offer assistance like my
co-worker did on that day a while back. And if you don't remember
everything that I wrote in this article, if you will remember Brother
Michael had a co worker who poured Milk into his eyes to stop the pepper
from burning. Then that is fine with me.

Thank you for reading this and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. writermdm@gmail.com
